Monster Kids launch on Aces Weekly

Monster Kids is a strip that Pete Taylor and Adam Wilmot have been working on since the SCC first started back in 2008. We've produced a dozen short strips but this week our first full-length Monster Kids tale begins in Volume 20 of Aces Weekly, the digital only, comic magazine published by the legendary David Lloyd, artist of V for Vendetta (and Night Raven) fame.

'Show N Yell' tells the story of the Monster Kids search for the perfect Show 'n' Tell items that will appear in 3 page episodes every week for the next 7 weeks!

You can access the strip by subscribing to Aces Weekly for just a £1 a week. The complete story will also be collected into a stand alone Volume 20 edition which can be purchased in a couple of months for £6.99.

Previous strips published on Aces Weekly icludes work by comics greats such as John Mccrea, Phil Hester, Mark Wheatley, Marc Hempel, Shaky Kane, Herb Trimpe, Val Mayerik,and many more. Huge thanks to David Lloyd and all at Aces Weekly for letting us join the fun and become contributors.

Origin Story

The Swansea Comics Collective was formed in September 2008 by two blokes in a comic shop. Fed up with talking about creating comics but not putting pencil to paper often enough, Pete & Mark decided to start a group where local artists and writers could meet to collectively pursue this goal.

We meet regularly and during the meeting a character or theme is chosen and the resulting blog art (Blarts) are posted here. We also run occasional 'Creating Comic' workshops and have published several comics.
